Passwords...

I forgot my password...yep, I did. And I was locked out of my own computer. Did you know that if you fail to give the right password several times in a row, you are locked out. That's right, push off... nothing to see... get lost pal. So I called my daughter in and she got me back into my computer. (Jeez Mom, your so lame) Any way, then I found out it might not have been me. That's right, my inter net access was hacked. I received an email that contained a tracker and accessed my contacts. Then it spammed everyone in my address file. The AT&T filters picked up on it and shut off my service. Then they notified me of the action...by email...that I couldn't access... Ah modern technology.

My husband dropped his phone. It is an industrial phone used by the military, it can withstand a fire fight, total submersion and magnetic interference. Just don't drop it when it is open. Nope, that will kill it. So, off he ran to the techno-store only they don't have that phone available any more. They showed him frilly, frou-frou phones that make coffee and do your ironing. The problem is they could break if you actually touch them as they are made off tissue and air. My daughter was able to find a phone that worked just fine "and it's pretty". So, she got an upgrade and my husband struggled with a "piece of crap" until he could find a phone that would work for him. We told him, just get one that does what you want and get insurance for it. The salesman said to just get a cover for it that would protect it, then he threw his own phone across the room at the wall. His phone was fine and my husband was impressed. But, he still wanted his old phone. He has a new phone now and complains that it isn't the same, but it is better than nothing.

I am considering... nothing. I am sick of technology. I want to be able to go somewhere and not be available. I do not want to have to remember passwords, PIN numbers, code keys and access numbers. All of this convenience is very inconvenient. I have to carry a code book just to have access my own life.

AT&T sent us a new wireless broadband modem for the new service it is offering. Well, offering isn't the right word, we are required to take this service and the new equipment, period. So...guess who had to set it up. And they require new passwords...oh dear. Not to worry they have security questions. The account is in my husband's name though I am the primary user. How am I supposed to know what his mother's favorite song was or what color his grandfather's first car was? Honestly, I think I will stay with my tried and true password *PASSWORD*. It works for me and I can usually remember it. Don't tell anyone though, very hush hush.

Peace and love to you all....
